cross-posting a thread-
hi all- for lack of knowing where would be the right forum to post it, I put it in the general/projects forum on a potential engine swap in my 2003 F350 I'm contemplating....any thoughts or ideas welcome there!

Well first, cross-posting gets confusing to follow; two streams of consciousness not connected by reality.
Setting that aside, from what engine to what engine? What are your goals for the swap? Do you have a donor vehicle or thinking crate engine or salvage yard?
Build from scratch, repair, or turnkey?
Give us more to work with? And please edit your subject line; my response to it is that cross-posting is generally not a good idea. It's best to pick one section and ask the mods to move it if that might get a better response elsewhere; members will often suggest a section to move a thread too and I think this is a good section for your question.

well, almost every question you ask is in the original post, and actually first thing I said in that post was asking the mods to move it as they saw fit....
without trying to sound snarky in any way- that's why I specifically posted where on the forum (both section and sub-forum) the post was- go and read the post and you'll have a better understanding why I cross-posted, it could, in theory, be appropriate in any one of 3 or 4 sub-forums

Thanks for the link to the thread with the details. That might actually drive useful responses.
I'll head over to it now and see if I can be of help.
ETA: Apologies if I sounded negative. Really am trying to be helpful, still working on my social skills.
